TL;DR Summary
Kingdom Come Deliverance II's director Daniel Vávra defends the optional Henry–Hans romance as non-coercive, natural, and educational, praising the approach as the right way and noting it earned two Gayming Magazine Awards nominations (Fan Favorite and Best LGBTQ+ Character for Hans). He argues against what he calls forced ‘woke’ depictions in other titles, while clarifying he stepped back from Warhorse Studios to work on a Kingdom Come film; sales and reception are cited in support of the approach.
